Composition: Cu 55/Ni 45 Form: Coil Material: Copper/Nickel (Constantan®) UNS Number: C72100 Commodity: Alloys
Constantan® Coil (Cu 55/Ni 45), an alloy of copper and nickel, is widely used in precision temperature measurement, thermal sensing, and strain gauge applications due to its stable electrical resistance across varying temperatures. Its low temperature coefficient of resistance ensures highly accurate thermocouple readings and consistent signal output in scientific instrumentation, making it indispensable in R&D and laboratory environments. Constantan® is critical in material stress analysis, advanced electronics, and experimental physics, where precision electrical resistance is required. Additionally, its corrosion resistance and long-term stability enable reliable performance in extreme environments, including aerospace systems, high-precision electronic components, and automated industrial processes. This alloy plays a crucial role in developing temperature-sensitive sensors, ensuring long-term reliability in high-accuracy measurement systems.
